……..
Well, its said that there are two types of people. One who believe in destiny and true love and make an effort to find their one. The other type who don’t even believe in love let alone destiny.
But in reality there is also a third type…….who do believe in destiny but not true love….
But actually,
True love is madness….being totally calm and yet In complete chaos.
………………………………………..
Her eyes…..those big grey crystals glistening in all glory. Her long silky black hair held in place with a green band. Her soft flawless skin, with a couple of drops of sweat beside her ears. Her blue and green yoga top….her grey leggings…….she was a celestial nymph for him. She was all he ever imagined.
All he had in his heart was a brief encounter……..but it seemed to keep replaying in front if his eyes. He was walking down the road yet he wasn’t. His heart was a sea of emotions……he had an urge to meet her again and again…..to have that first encounter all over again and again….he felt a raw attraction……
He never felt that way before…..not for anyone….not even for Radhika……was bonnie his destiny?
He felt his eyes welling up…..his hand kept running through his hair……one single question ruled his mind……Radhika Or Bonnie?
While in London….
Neil was on a video chat with Radhika and Arjun…
Arjun let out a sigh, “but bro you love her.”
Neil, “but what if she rejects me?”
Radhika had enough of arneil’s bickering, “okay…enough…now buddy, listen to me, forget the what if……”
She locked her eyes with neil through the screen and spoke in a gentle yet serious manner, “do you really want live your entire life in guilt….in regret?….do you really want to start each day with a what if in your heart?…..neil, trust me….it wouldn’t be easy to lead a normal life knowing that everything was set….and had you mustered the courage to speak your heart that day….things would have been different….your entire life would have been different. It wouldn’t be easy imagining that had you given it a shot, you may have found yourself waking up with sam sleeping in your arms each day. What if….two words having no independent meaning…..is that all you are afraid of? What if she rejects you…..but buddy what if she says yes to you?
Neil, deny all you like but buddy we both know that you have her name imprinted on your heart….you know, the people whose love is true aren’t afraid of speaking their hearts out……
Neil , I know it takes a lot of courage to tell someone that you love them…but trust me, its worth it.
Neil, its all up to you.”
Radhika cut the call before neil could reply.
Arjun felt a warm feeling sliding in his heart….this was another side of his love he hadn’t seen…..
Radhika received a call from teji…..
Teji was in full panic mode, “chashni….she isn’t here yet.”
Radhika slapped her forehead….she had this fool all alone to meet his lady love….., “idiot….you are there an hour early…..just shut up and don’t panic….dont scare her off..be friendly and don’t worry…..i have given her some heads up…..everything’s gonna be okay.”
Teji, “but..”
Radhika cut off him, “no if and buts….just shut up and dare you call me again….she’ll reach on time….have a nice chat and head up here when you are done.”
Arjun sighed…he knew teji was gonna have rough time….he was standing on wet sand…..he grinned thinking about it.
When Radhika was done talking with teji….she looked looked at Arjun….who winked at her, “somebody is playing cupid a lot these days.”
Radhika gave him a big smile. She walked out of the room to drink water, when his landline rang. Radhika picked the phone up, “hello?”
Caller was a lady who seemed a bit hesitant herself hearing a female voice , “can I talk to aru?”
Radhika, “ I am sorry….nobody by the name of aru lives here.i guess, you have got the wrong number.”
The lady apologised and hung up…..she knew his full name….she knew that she wanted to talk to Arjun mehra…..it took her two years to muster the courage to call his number….and hearing a girl’s voice it all jumped out the window. Tears streaming down her cheeks…..she was desperate…. she wanted to hear his voice….she wanted to hear him call her nandu….she wanted to tell him how much she had missed him….how guilty she felt….and that she was willing to do anything for his forgiveness….
She wiped her tears making up her mind to call back later.
When Radhika returned….arjun asked her, “who was it?”
Radhika replied without even looking at him, “wrong number…..wanted some one by the name of aru.”
All of arjun’s past came rushing back to him…….aru…aru….only nandini called him that….his nandu……
His eyes started to sting as he remembered all their happy times….and an unknown smile appeared on his face thinking if his sister, his princess bonnie……
His face darkened thinking about nandini’s betray….her game…..how he had to leave everything behind…leave his princess behind….he hated nandini mehra for all she did. But at the same time, he knew there no one better than her to take care of bonnie. And this was the reason, he never told his little princess the truth……
A shard of ice pierced his heart as he thought about her……he wondered how she would be….what would she be doing…..he knew she would be all grown up….his little princess was no longer little…she was 19 years..2 months and 11 days old.
Yes, he remembered every little detail of hers….her likes….dislikes…habits and hobbies…just everything….
His heart told him that he meet her soon….
Arjun was brought back to earth by Radhika…she was shaking him hard, “what happened….you seemed to be In a trance…..you know aru?”
Arjun gave her a tired smile….one of the two girls he loved the most was right in front of him and his heart felt the others presence near by, “no I don’t.”
